Swim Teams
Pre-competitive Swim League at Sherwood Family YMCA
This is for youth that are interested in taking the next step after swim lessons. This is a fun, low-pressure introduction to learning about competitive swimming.
This fun swim league will introduce concepts of competitive swimming in a low-key, non-competitive setting.
Participants will learn and practice all four competitive strokes with appropriate turns, starts, and how to build a workout set, including dryland and stretching. There will even be opportunities for mock swim meets.
PREREQUISITES: Must have completed Level 4 or a tryout.
For a tryout, contact sherwoodaqua@ymcacw.org
